Re: What the compiler does, or not?

There is also an argument that MOVE is a bad choice of name because it
doesn't move anything. It copies bytes. It is also a seriously overloaded
op-code: it converts between character and numeric, converts between
character and UCS-2, converts date, time, timestamp data, ignores decimal
alignment on numeric moves, etc. <snip>

So it would seem to be that move is a very powerful and versatile command
(op code).  <VBG>


Polymorphic even?
